    Right of entitlement?

    Lack of trust is a big issue: I want good consumer protections - I and many other vapers do not trust FDA or the larger govt to regulate e-cigs responsibly; based on statements and legislation already in existence, the goal of e-cig regulation thus far has not been to protect consumers, but to...

    How Can You Tell Which Flavor Liquid Is In Each Of Your Clearomizers?

    I use cartos/tanks but the principle is the same - a quick sniff of the drip tip will tell what is inside.

    too much alcohol?

    Alcohol will do that - the higher the flavoring %, the more the alcohol will be noticeable. I am very skeptical of heating - could severely diminish or change flavoring. Cap off will do it, 1 day maybe 2 will do the trick - the juice will mellow over a few days anyway, if it has even the...

    You just won a shopping spree (a little Saturday night fun)

    2 options: 1) Natures Flavors - 4 gal. sets of 3x butterscotch flavoring. I timed it. Once I started it would take 4 seconds to repeat the addition, so allotting 1:30 for shopping would net me about 184 gallons of flavoring, a normal cost of ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. 2) Provape - snag as many...

    Need vet opinions here :)

    Well, with some VG/PG you can dilute juice mg/flavoring. Diluting from 24mg to 18 will give a 25% drop in both mg and flavor. If you want to dilute flavor I would suggest sticking with the 24mg - that way you don't have to do separate calculations for the mg & don't have to mess with nic base.

    Cartos turning black on top?

    It happens; sign of use. It can be a good gauge for replacement - when the carto starts to look real gross, toss it.

    Can EM crystals be diluted in VG?

    I like EM because it can add a 'thickness' feel to the vape, & because with some mixes it helps to blend the flavors together (it can take something that is a collection of flavors, and make them one). No idea why it is billed as a sweetener though, I agree that it doesn't seem to sweeten...

    Flavor and Fragrance Specialties?

    Diacetyl? I don't know of any other common flavoring chemicals that are KNOWN to be harmful for inhalation... warnings usually seem to be a precaution due to lack of knowledge.

    Flavor and Fragrance Specialties?

    Sounds like our typical flavorings, but that is quite a graphic warning lol; at any rate I followed the link above & couldn't find anything about their actual flavors... based on the looks of that website, this looks like the kind of company that wants to sell to entire restaurant chains.

    Can EM crystals be diluted in VG?

    Everclear or Club 190 - I am a whiskey man, but if I recall vodka is just alcohol & water, yes? (Maybe just the kinds I drank...). Everclear is pure, and the alcohol itself evaporates fairy effectively if you wanted to transfer dissolved EM to the VG; water won't do that.

    Can EM crystals be diluted in VG?

    ...probably. I mix the crystals in PG & shake the bojangles out of it; takes a looooooong time without heat. I do not like using heat for anything juice-related until the actual vaporizing happens. If you used a hot water bath to speed the process it may work with VG. PGA works well, so you...

    Berserkr DIY

    I was idle tonight & decided to mix a few things so I would not have to do it later. After realizing that I was out of huckleberry, I became enraged, and Odin filled my spirit with great fury; with the berserkergang upon me I took up fistfuls of flavorings and began to craft a juice the likes of...

    State sales tax coming to online vendors.

    The difficulty is how to determine which state(s) tax applies, and how to collect it. It is no greedier than collecting a physical sales tax. Many states (like TX) rely more on sales tax because they are ideologically opposed to income tax - so I ask: would you prefer taxes on internet sales or...

    Vanilla bean ice cream (TFA) question (acetyl propionyl)

    There are other companies who make vanilla ice cream flavoring, though I have not tried any aside from TFA. You could try to mix a replacement - sweet cream & vanilla cupcake perhaps. VBIC seems to have a slight nutty element - maybe a couple drops of toasted almond would simulate that. For...

    Bases & Crafting 'Thicker' Juice

    I am using Nature's Flavors (butterscotch to be specific) and mixing it at 40%. I can go up to 23% and have the juice flow normally. But the recipe is perfect and needs 40%. I have not used heat, but have experimented with air - I have breathed flavoring for 3 days before mixing, and the...
